Page 2: Product Introduction
1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION Charge current up to 85 A and PV voltage up to 150 V The BlueSolar 150/85-MPPT charge controller is able to charge a lower nominal- voltage battery from a higher nominal voltage PV array. The controller will automatically adjust to a 12, 24, or 48 V nominal battery voltage. Synchronised parallel operation of up to 25 units Interconnect the charge controllers with RJ45 UTP cables and they will automatically synchronise. -

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Danger of explosion from sparking Danger of electric shock ● It is advised to read this manual carefully before the product is installed and put into use. ● This product is designed and tested in accordance with international standards. The equipment should be used for the designated application only. -
Page 4: Installation
3. INSTALLATION This product may only be installed by a qualified electrical engineer. Important: In order to enable automatic system voltage recognition always connect the batteries before connecting the solar panels. 3.1 Location The product must be installed in a dry and well-ventilated area, as close as possible to - but not above - the batteries. - Page 5 Table 1 below gives some examples of battery cable cross sections calculated with formula (5). (in this case I and V in formula (5) are the output current and output voltage of the charge controller) 12V system (solar array up to 1200W) Maximum Length 2x1,5 m Length 2x2,5 m...
- Page 6 3.3 PV connection The PV input current of the charge controller is limited to 75A. In case of a potential solar array output exceeding 75A, the solar array voltage will increase up to the level at which the output is reduced to 75A. The voltage on the PV input should never exceed 150V under any condition.

If the absorption period is interrupted due to a cloud or due to a power hungry load, the absorption process will resume when absorption voltage is reached again later on the day, until the absorption period has been completed. The absorption period also ends when the output current of the solar charger drops to less than 2 Amps, not because of low solar array output but because the battery is fully charged (tail current cut off). - Page 13 5.
